Why This Matters: YD’s learn by watching the adults around them, what they listen to and engage with on social media, they absorb behaviors—positive or negative—and carry them into school. When we model kindness, respect, and courtesy, our children learn to do the same. The Little Ambassadors Seminar reinforces these values in a fun, supportive environment that complements what you teach at home.
Join Us. Give your Young Diplomat the gift of confidence, courtesy, and social readiness. Mark your calendar for April 4 and 11, 2026, and secure your child’s spot today—especially if you’d like to take advantage of the early‑registration savings. We can’t wait to welcome your Young Diplomat!
